PaleoNoel Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I think you're spot on with this one! Looks like one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I am only responding because I feel like we're having a conversation this evening, so I apologize if my answers aren't the right ones. I am simply giving my opinions and two cents. In my limited opinion, it seems possible that it's Mosasaur. The shape and curvature seem right, and they're known in the area. It looks like the ones I have in my collection, but mine are from Morocco. I am really just a trilobite dude, but I like being active in conversations on the forum. I say you're on the money on this one. But, then again, Mosasaur are not early marine invertebrates.... 1 Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It's like a weird version of Jeopardy for me. You'll notice that half of my answers are in the form of questions, lol. 1 Jay A.

Gavin Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 that's ok, I've only been asking questions tonight, but I like learning about these old creatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I do not have the tooth gift. I just don’t find teeth for some reason. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to the NSR, but never a mosasaur tooth. I have a couple fish and a shark. I go there to hunt cephalopods, but I find other cool stuff. 2 times ago was a good trip. I found a lobster claw, turtle bits, mosasaur verts, ammonites, baculites, Pleistocene bone and some arthropod of some sort. I love the variety of the NSR. Somewhere further east there is even hadrosaur material in the river. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I learn something new on this forum every time I log in. I make a point to check out threads that are outside of my realm, and it's led to an awful lot of knowledge about things that I have never had firsthand experience with. But, as I mentioned, it leaves me with a lot of educated opinions and not as many definitive answers. But that's the beauty of TFF! This site will pretty much give you a layman's degree in paleontology if you're willing to read and learn! Jay A.

DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Also, for what it's worth, I think that that one piece of "bone marrow" that you posted bared a striking resemblance to Mosasaur bone material IMO. 1 Jay A.
